Title: Data valid detector circuit for Manchester encoded data
Inventor: RIVERS BRIAN THOMAS
IPC: G11B20/14
Filed: 1991-06-07
Abstract: A data valid detector circuit for Manchester encoded data monitors two parameters to determine single bit validity, namely, the location and number of edges in one bit period (12, 14, 16), and the output count of an integrator type Manchester decoder circuit (24, 26). Circuits 18 analyze each received bit waveform to see that the data falls within reasonable limits of what can be said to be a valid Manchester bit. By retaining bit-by-bit information on validity for a sample of N bits (20), a determination is made of the validity of this string of N bits (22). A data valid signal (DFLAG) is then generated indicating reception of a signal that is not disturbed by noise if a sufficient number of bits in the string are valid. <IMAGE>

Title: A shock absorbing, fixing element for piping
Inventor: BODO GIUSEPPE
IPC: F16L55/035
Filed: 1991-08-16
Abstract: In the field of fixing elements for piping, it is known to provide retaining clips connected to a base by flexible connecting strips. However, such known devices suffer from the disadvantage that the retaining clips are arranged too close to the base, or are even embedded in it. With the present invention, the connecting strips (7) are serpentine between the base (1) and the retaining clips (3). The advantage is that the clips (3) can float freely, whilst being adequately spaced from the base (1). <IMAGE>

Title: Distributed data processing system
Inventor: ANTHIAS TAF
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1992-12-22
Abstract: The invention relates to the management of the window geometry or layout in a distributed data processing system. A client/server model is assumed with applications executing on client systems 10a, 10b and the graphics data being drawn on a server system 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d (where the end user is). The applications interact with the user by defining client windows 30a, 30b into which they place graphical data and from which they receive input entered by the user. They also define sub-windows (40a, 40b, fig 2) for action fields through which a user may enter data and access the applications. The client presentation layer only externalises to the server the minimum data needed for it to carry out its display responsibilities, remaining display data being stored in the client systems. <IMAGE>

Title: Hose clamp
Inventor: OETIKER HANS
IPC: F16L33/04
Filed: 1992-12-23
Abstract: A clamp structure (10) made from a material normally elastically non-stretchable in its longitudinal direction is given elastic stretchability by the provision of one or more sections which include lateral non-rectilinear band portions (20) on both sides of the central longitudinal clamp plane. The lateral non-rectilinear band portions are made by cut-outs in the clamp symmetrically along its longitudinal sides and in the center area. In one embodiment, the cut-outs along the sides are segmentally shaped while a window in the central area is made of a shape resembling an hourglass. Adjacent sections are connected with each other by transversely extending web portions delimited in the longitudinal direction by end surfaces of the central cut-outs. The clamp has at least one outwardly extending ear or lug crimpable to tighten the clamp structure about the object to be fastened thereby. Changes in the circumferential length of the clamp structure will be compensated thereby in the first instance by the elastically stretchable portion of the clamping band so that the ear or lug may be maximally crimped. <IMAGE>

The bush 3 is chamfered at 3a to enable the bush to be inserted through among radially inward protrusions 1e of the arms 1c. The bush 3 is of square or hexagonal cross-section to co-operate with the non-circular internal surface of the arms 1c, to deter rotation thereof relative to the bung 1 and, upon rotation of the bolt 2, the chamfered end of the bush 3 bears against correspondingly inclined surfaces 1f of the arms 1c to cam those arms 1c outwardly against the internal surface of the tube 4. The outer end of the bung 1 is formed as a saddle to receive a tube 5 formed with bores 5a for receiving the bolt 2. <IMAGE>

Title: Rotary clock decoration
Inventor: URABE TAKUO
IPC: G04B45/00
Filed: 1993-03-22
Abstract: In an arrangement for controlling the rotation of a reciprocating decoration 5 eg an ornamental torsion pendulum, motor pulse timing data is stored in a memory 31. The data is such that the separation d of timing pulses to be applied to the stepper motor 9 varies non sinusoidally whilst producing an elegant rotation. In one embodiment (figure 3) the non-sinusoidal variation in timing pulses is realised by making a number of pulse separations equal in magnitude at a position C midway between successive reversals in direction of the decoration. In a second (figure 5), a number of pulses A are produced with a small separation following a reversal of the decoration direction. In a third embodiment (figure 7) the pulse prior to the reversal of direction of the decoration is omitted. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2283083-A (GB)
Title: Electronic system manager for a tumble dryer
Inventor: LIELL DAVID
IPC: D06F34/08
Filed: 1994-01-08
Abstract: The system manager SM incorporates a microcontroller and receives an enabling signal at input 1 from the dryer door switch SW1 when the door is closed. A start relay RL1 bypasses the normal starter switch SW2 for drum motor M, which is energised via a motor control relay RL2. Input 2 receives a heater request signal from a cutout C, and a main heating control relay RL3 is wired in place of the thermostat TH to control the heater H. A thermoelectric temperature sensor S is placed in the air outlet from the drum and the manager controls the heater H via relay RL3 in the conventional manner, switching off the heater when the sensed temperature rises above a predetermined maximum, and on again when the temperature falls to a predetermined minimum. However, the system manager monitors successive heating periods and when the difference between the length of two sequential periods falls to zero, or below a preset value, the heating cycles are terminated by maintaining relay RL2 permanently open. <IMAGE>
